Santa Cristina Chianti Superiore
The Santa Cristina Chianti Superiore 750ml is a quintessential Tuscan red wine, delivered to Nairobi by Frontdoor Kenya. Crafted by Santa Cristina, a prestigious winery under the Antinori family since 1946, this DOCG wine blends Sangiovese (95%) with Merlot (5%) to capture the heart of Chianti’s renowned terroir. With its ruby-red brilliance and refined character, it’s ideal for sophisticated dinners, festive occasions like Easter, or as a thoughtful gift. Nairobi wine lovers will appreciate its heritage and versatility, making it a must-have for any celebration.
Delight in a Vibrant Flavor Profile
Santa Cristina Chianti Superiore greets the senses with a ruby-red hue and intense aromas of red fruit—cherries and berries—mingled with delicate violet and earthy notes. On the palate, it’s well-balanced, offering savory, concentrated fruit, velvety tannins, and a fresh, lingering finish. With a 13% ABV, this medium-bodied wine is best served at 16-18°C, ideally decanted for 30 minutes to enhance its complexity. Its vibrant yet approachable style has earned accolades, including 90 points from James Suckling (2020 vintage), making it a favorite for Nairobi’s discerning sippers.
Pairings to Enhance Your Dining
This Chianti Superiore pairs beautifully with classic Italian fare and beyond. Enjoy it with tagliatelle Bolognese, roast pork, or grilled sausages to highlight its cherry and earthy notes. It also complements Nairobi’s local cuisine, such as nyama choma or spicy lamb stew, adding a touch of Tuscan elegance to every bite. For cheese pairings, try it with pecorino or aged gouda. Hosting a dinner party? This wine’s versatility impresses. Explore more reds to complement your menu on our Wines category page, featuring options like Santa Cristina Le Maestrelle or Malbec.
Crafted with Tuscan Tradition
Santa Cristina’s Chianti Superiore is produced in the Chianti Classico region, where Sangiovese thrives on clay and limestone soils. Grapes are hand-harvested in late September to early October, followed by destemming and gentle pressing. Fermentation occurs at 25°C for 10 days with selected yeasts, using pump-overs to extract color and soft tannins. Malolactic fermentation softens the wine, which then ages for 8-10 months—70% in stainless steel for freshness, 30% in oak barriques for structure—followed by 3 months in bottle. This meticulous process, rooted in Antinori’s 600-year legacy, has earned the 2020 vintage 91 points from Wine Enthusiast and a Silver Medal from Decanter World Wine Awards.
Why Chianti Superiore Stands Out
The Santa Cristina Chianti Superiore 750ml is a top choice for Nairobians seeking quality and authenticity. Its classic Sangiovese-driven profile, softened by Merlot, offers exceptional value, blending tradition with approachability. Perfect for gifting, personalize it with our Custom Engraving service—add “Cheers 2025” or a name for a memorable touch. With a 5-8-year aging potential, it’s ideal for cellaring or enjoying now. Praised by critics like Falstaff for its “red berry fruit and subtle spice,” this wine suits Nairobi’s dynamic lifestyle, ensuring every sip is a taste of Tuscany.
